Why is Christopher Scarver in Prison?
Christopher Scarver was given a life sentence in 1990 for shooting Steven Lohman, a Wisconsin Conservation Corps employee, three times.

Why Did Christopher Scarver Decide To Kill Jeffrey Dahmer?
According to The media, on November 28, 1994, Christopher Scarver murdered Jesse Anderson and Jeffrey Dahmer as they were unsupervised for 20 minutes while cleaning the prison gym. In Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Furly Mac’s character Scarver kills both Jesse Anderson and Jeffrey Dahmer by beating them to death with a gym bar.
According to an interview Scarver gave to the New York Post in 2015, Dahmer was attacked because he would mock other inmates by “fashioning dismembered limbs out of prison food” and then smear ketchup over them to make them look like blood.
Scarver, who was 45 at the time, said, “He would position them in places where people would be.” “In his interactions with inmates and workers, he went too far. He was hardly the kind of penitent criminal who finds redemption behind bars.”
